Levelling Weapons

P3ZZL3

Hey Folks.

So, quick question. I'm starting work on new new Toon and wanted to know the quickest wy to level the skills on the weapons used.

I need to level both Dest and Resto Staffs - although Destruction is more important at this point.

My understanding is that I should obviously use that weapon, add the training trait to it and have at least 1 destro item in the toolbar.

Does this mean, I can have 1 dest and 1 resto item in the Destro staff skill bar and both will level?

Yes. For every skill you have on your bar for a weapon, that skill and respective weapon get a % of the XP received (even if the actual weapon is not equipped.)

So you can have resto skills slotted while destro is equipped, but the more skills you have slotted for each weapon, the faster you level.

If you are already at level 15 and can weapon swap, an idea is to slot resto (with as many resto skills as you can) on the off bar and then switch to that bar when handing in a quest or discovering a new location.

What about if you mob grind for quick levelling. Does it work similar?

Craft whatever Weapon type it is with the 'Training' trait on it and improve it to Epic to get a higher value. Then go out and earn XP with the Weapon(s) equipped and on the bar you are earning XP with that also has as many of that Weapon tree's abilities on that bar as well.

XP is XP no matter how you get it. Nothing in ESO levels by use, only XP.

yes whatever skills you have on your bar when gaining xp ( from any method grinding, questing and or pvp) receive a % of the xp gained. using your two weapons as an example: all 5 slots desto every mob kill, player kill or quest turn in sends 100% to your main destro line. Three destro two resto mains 60% to destro and 40% to resto. Remember, you will also be wanting to lvl class and or guild skills as well which work the same way. One method many people use is to use a skill bar mod. They then have one set up for actual use and one they switch to for quest turn in Thus, having skills they are using gain xp from killing and ones they want to lvl up prior to using gain xp from quest turn in. This method is especially handy latter in the game when you have some skills maxed that you are using and want to lvl others.

Another thing to consider is having the passives with skill points in them. A method I like before level 15 is to put one active skill for the weapon you are using on with as many passives as is possible. Then I fill the bar with the second weapon I am interested in leveling active skills.
